Albert's Birthday

By Leslie Tryon

Book Overview

In this charming addition to the timeless and beloved Albert the Duck books, Patsy Pig plans the perfect surprise party for Albert--but nearly forgets the most important detail of all.

In the midst of planning a grand surprise party for her best friend, Albert, Patsy Pig forgets the most important thing: to invite Albert!

She gave all of her friends special instructions so they could gather the prettiest party hats, the most beautiful cards, and the yummiest cake, but her guest of honor is not there to enjoy it.

Complete with Albert's colorful photo album and many activity-filled pictures, Albert's Birthday is a great read that "emphasizes good intent rather than perfection"-- a valuable lesson for any young reader (Publishers Weekly).

Albert's Birthday

This is a very good book. When Patsy decides to have a suprise party for Albert, she asks all of Albert's friends to help out. The party is planned and everything is turned out great, everyone did what they were supposed to, but wait Patsy forget to give Albert the invitation. When Patsy relizes this they decided to move the party to Albert. When they are on thier way to bring the part to Albert, they relize that he has just left, and is on his way somewhere. They follow him, and everytime they are close Albert seems to have just left. They are so tired that they take a break at the apple orchard, and what happens. I guess you will have to read the book to find out. I would recommend this book for children ages 3-7.
